Optipad, which can extend oil lifetime up to 50%, combines an advanced filtration material with a filter aid, resulting in a pre-impregnated solution that efficiently eliminates particles and oil contaminants. The enhanced and durable design of the filter pad also streamlines the changing of filters, making it easier and more efficient for daily use.
TPM (Total Polar Materials) is a key measurement for assessing the quality of frying oil. Elevated TPM % levels indicate the degradation of oil, which can adversely affect food quality. OptiPad keeps the TPM-% lower much longer than standard filtration methods, delivering cleaner oil and extending the cooking oil life by up to 50%.
“Optipad enhances oil quality and offers savings and improved ease of use”, said Clas Läck, Head of Liquid Filtration at Ahlstrom. “Our filtration solution reduces frequency for oil replacement, saving total oil consumption. These are critical advantages for foodservice businesses striving for both efficiency and sustainability”.
OptiPad is manufactured with FDA approved materials and is in compliance with NSF/ANSI 51 Standard for Food Equipment Materials.
